[ashen swan]

i'm def buying SSDs and ram first

[acoustic palm]

well

no one can predict this market

[ashen swan]

i have a idea

i'll go 32 gbs

and once ram gets okay

i'll get 64

if i want to

[acoustic palm]

yeah

thats a good idea

[ashen swan]

okay

i can stand with using Kingston ram

it's 1000NTD cheaper

[acoustic palm]

buy the cheapest ram with a good die

hynix preffered

[ashen swan]

Hynix a die Vs Micron die
Hynix A is 1000NTD more

hmm

[acoustic palm]

worth it.

[ashen swan]

ya i'd ho Hynix a

[acoustic palm]

micron is NOT good dies

[ashen swan]

6000 CL28 for Hynix A

can't wait for this B50 and 265K build ngl

[acoustic palm]

i would maybe oc that

can help with productivity things too

[real sphinx]

That's amazing

[ashen swan]

if mobo manufactures are down bad then mobo prices will go down

[acoustic palm]

eh

i doubt it

[heady plinth]

If they aren't selling then there would typically be sales yeah. Or they try to move inventory bundling it with ram.

[devout vapor]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and got the RAM they always wanted XD

[sinful blade]

I got the monitor I wanted
All I need is a desk

Hey

My plan

Is to buy one single 16gb kit

Give it to my dads pc

And take his 32g kit

It’s a 6400 CL34 ? Kit of crucial smt

Cl32

[acoustic palm]

uh

why are you screwing over your dad

[elfin mural]

that's not what i wanna do if you ask me

[elfin mural]

and honestly

if your dad's pc has that much ram

he'll notice the difference since he likely uses that much ram lol

well it's not 3d stacked cache

but 128mb of l4 cache is crazy

[icy ore]

[dusk knot]

Yeah....it's impressive.... though there's a lower peak brightness and the blue subpixel has the risk of degrading since it's still organic.

But overall, most people with 4k oleds say the text clarity is fine. This new tech would really benefit 1440p.

The color accuracy is better than ever to...

What's up with PCle 3,4,5 x16
For GPU??

[worthy meteor]

PCI SIG keeps writing more standards for more bandwidth

[nocturne flicker]

3, 4 and 5 are PCIe generations. The higher that number, the faster each individual lane. The x16 represents the amount of lanes, in this case 16 lanes for the device/slot

[opaque sedge]

U guys think its a good idea to wait till ces if i’m unsure abt pulling the trigger on the 9070xt

Cuz prices according to rumors are set to rise from the get go of January apparently

[nocturne flicker]

I say don't do it and also do it

Do you think prices will increase? If yes then proceed, if no then don't

[heady plinth]

Amd has pretty much always been willing to drop prices to keep sales up in the latter stages of product life cycles. If you are getting one msrp-ish it's a good deal anyway though. It's not like it's only $20 cheaper than a 5070ti anymore.

[lone mango]

True

Micro center has one under msrp rn

[nocturne flicker]

You'll have really loud fans strapped to a heatsink that is way bigger than the fans

[opaque sedge]

Nvm i dont think regular headers can support the voltage

Think regular headers are like 15w max

That thing is 12v and 3 amps

[opaque sedge]

Ok its 12 watts it seems

[dense locust]

Just hook it up outside and extend a cable

[peak heart]

I love when people say what will happen (about their experiments)

[tranquil pebble]

120v fans for PC

If they were not capable of being powered by a header it'd come with an alternate connection anyways

if the advertised price for the b570 was lower it would've been another hit from intel

like that gpu is kinda forgettable

It is infuriating

[deep parcel]

dont google 67

[fair onyx]

Man I wish Verizxon allowed for more unique trade ins. I really wanna get a new phone, but I don't wanna get another samsung :<

All the cool phones I want aren't based in the US, and aren't ever going to be on carrier deals

if the S26 ultra is good, I'll go with it, but I have doubts it will be

I am kinda gonna be forced to get a samsung, cause there are no other good trade ins

our phones in the west are kinda starting to suck

[nocturne flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-67-scp-67-funyuns-funny-gif-75413186200073602

[fair onyx]

the only other option I have besides samsung is a pixel, and those are even worse feature/value wise :<

[elfin mural]

i keep my phones for a long while

and samsung is a good choice for that

due to software update policy

[fair onyx]

I have had my S22 ultra for almost 4 years, but I am kinda over it, and I am pissed off at how samsung screwed me over with it

[elfin mural]

pixel keeps messing up updates too

so going pixel would put you into even more frustration

[fair onyx]

updates are fine, but hardware failures are a little more serious, like on my phone

I am one of the thousands of people with the S22 ultra dead display issue

[elfin mural]

i'm bitter about samsung too, my s21 fe developed two lines on the screen

dab smack at the troublesome age of samsungs

s22 age

[fair onyx]

Mine has a spot of death from the hole punch that has grown so big I can't read my notifs now when they pop up

[elfin mural]

but later models don't have the issue

at least not to a large extent

[fair onyx]

IDk about that. Its been an issue since the S10

but yeah, they svcrewed me over on my S22 ultra, and I am NOT happy about it

[elfin mural]

you mean the oled blotches?

that's a flaw with oled sadly

if the internal oled panel gets damaged

it'll leak the liquid

no oled phones are safe from that

[fair onyx]

they were offering free repairs for people with the issue, and the issue disproportionally to the preorder phones. They reached out, set up an appointment for me then saw my phone was 15 months old, and they only offered it if it was less than 12 months old (Younger than all of the pre orders) and then tried to have me go through with the repair for $450

so they literally told me it was their fault, and the preorder phones were the most affected... and then denied my repair cause it was over a year ago... when the preorder phones came out

I own a LOT of samsung devices, and this has been a one off, but I am still pissed about it

[spring stone]

Naw it wasn't my tv it was my monitor that doesn't work

[fair onyx]

its big enough to actually impact my usage of my phone day to day now

[spring stone]

Everytime I try to play battlefield it says nope

What's funny is I bought it for 220 next day it was 160

[fair onyx]

my biggest reasons for wanting a new phone are:

Display that works
Flat panel
Better battery

[spring stone]

Get the new icock @fair onyx

[fair onyx]

but unfortunately none of the western phones use new battery tech, so they aren't really any better than a few years ago

[fair onyx]

uhhh, lets not talk like that, please

[elfin mural]

you can look at oneplus

[spring stone]

My b

[elfin mural]

if you want to

[spring stone]

Yeah oneplus

[fair onyx]

Yeah, I was interested in the oneplus 15, but it has some pretty major downsides IMO

My phone i really want is the Xiaomi 17 pro max

butttt, you can't do any meaningful tradeing, and I can't justify $1000 on a new phone

they think ram is all the same

They were typically like 512mb to like 1gb?

My old system had 4 sticks of 512mb ddr2

Nvidia dropping production means more AMD buyers, which means more demand

[opaque sedge]

Which aib did u get?

[craggy shoal]

PowerColor Hellhound

[opaque sedge]

I might get the hellhound price matched at 630 ngl

And if the red devil drops to 650 in 30 days imma do an exchange

[craggy shoal]

I originally wanted an XFX but I was only going to buy from Amazon. The XFX AIBs were only available through a store called Fennec, Inc, which is apparently a sketchy store to buy from sometimes. I decided to spend more so I would actually get the GPU I paid for lol

[opaque sedge]

Actually maybe i should head to microcenter now and try asking if the red devil really has been changed to 720

If they let me get it for 650 i might get it

[opaque sedge]

Bathroom breaks would def make me miss climactic moments in a movie that long

[onyx merlin]

Why did Cameron not just cut flim down to 2 hours or something and use the extra hour and 12 minutes for bonus features or some special edition

[opaque sedge]

Looks like he wanted to go all out

[onyx merlin]

his last movie was for sure too long the way of the water blue people or whatever it was called

[opaque sedge]

Respectable tbh

Wish video game directors would do that

[onyx merlin]

I dont hate Cameron he just has a habbit of making very long movies good value for money I suppose but time wise his movies typically devour alot

[craggy shoal]

lol I've raced in an endurance race. 3 hours isn't long

Honestly I wish the Star Wars movies were longer so they could fit more lore into them

[onyx merlin]

Suprised Disney caved and Let Cameron do as he pleases

When they control other directors much more

Guess they wanted to keep him as a director

[craggy shoal]

Imagine in the middle of the movie is just a big wall of text that says "you can use the bathroom now lol"

[onyx merlin]

I mean better then missing t

cuz you had to go badly

[craggy shoal]

Or if there's a massive sign in the background in a certain scene that says "this part of the movie isn't very important. Just go empty your bladder or something idk"

[opaque sedge]

Ur forgetting the fact that i’m prolly gonna be sipping on soda thats in those comically large cups theaters offer

There is no way their medium size is fugging medium

That shit is extra extra large

I could barely hold the drinks with two hands

[onyx merlin]

I would never drink a soda I never do anymore and i rarely ever did... Besides only type I could even drink would be a diet and too risky making sure they actually give you diet and not sugar version I got type 1 diabetes so if they gave me a sugar version by mistake would make my blood sugar go up to dangerous levels.

[onyx merlin]

well

going to see the movie 930AM

8:49 AM currently but movie wont start really until 9:55-10:00 AM

AMC movies always start about 30 minutes later

hope its good.

[trail nest]

chat what are some good gaming controllers for PUBG on pc that still gives controller players an advantage over mouse and keyboard?

[pliant berry]

I don't really think one strictly has an advantage over the other just depends on how much you've used one or the other. but i do like controllers with gyro control and trackpads for fine control

[dusk knot]

Yes. Watch it

I hope you remember the last 2 movies

A 3 hour plus movie isn’t that bad

[proud jackal]

im so gassy

[dusk knot]

Pop some pills

they are fermenting in my guts

[worn night]

POV only mods in chat

[misty sparrow]

Do you think it will have an extended cut like the first and second films

[dusk knot]

I think so

The movie could have been longer ngl

It's more of an experience than a film

Like being transported to another world.

I want another 30 mins

Going to see the film again on the 1st with Dolby Cinema at AMC. I think I haven't experienced it since my move from North Carolina which was almost 8 years ago

[rancid juniper]

[acoustic palm]

Real

[proud jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-sad-gif-27615865

[dusk knot]

IMAX has a larger screen with a more old fashioned sound system, but DC has Dolby vision and Atmos. I want that brighter more vivid screen this time.

[elfin mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqSyrm9mRu0

hospital grade cables can be bought easily in the us

weird fact to know

[pliant berry]

yeah dolby's contrast, brightness and audio is pretty incredible

[dusk knot]

Mhhmm

Can't wait

It's a 45 min drive

[proud jackal]

the aspect ratio on imax lets you see more but the dolby colors are better.

[nocturne flicker]

Going to a theater to watch the same film more than once kinda weird ngl

And a waste of money

[velvet summit]

definitely a real diamond

[dusk knot]

No. It's because I'm a big fan

And I want to try out a format I hardly go to

[nocturne flicker]

Still a waste of money, movie theaters ain't cheap anymore

[velvet summit]

<insert text here> grade things can be bought but are typically more expensive
or if they're cheaper then they're probably worse

[dusk knot]

Nah. More money means more movies

[nocturne flicker]

That ain't how it works

[dusk knot]

Yeah Ik about how movie theaters get their cut as well.

[nocturne flicker]

They get their cut in selling food

[dusk knot]

I don't mind , weary.

[dusk knot]

I eat at home

[nocturne flicker]

Then you are bankrupting the movie theaters

[elfin mural]

they're surprisingly not that much more expensive

for the benefits you get it's nice

[velvet summit]

their cut selling food thats even more overpriced than airports fr

[nocturne flicker]

They get their money by selling overpriced food

Not by selling tickets to movies

Why do you think they've been pushing fancy popcorn buckets

Because they get high margins on popcorn

[dusk knot]

$70 buckets at that

[pliant berry]

it's a good thing I don't love popcorn

[dusk knot]

I really don't care about the theaters, I just want to enjoy one of my favorite franchises on the big screen and I want the movie to succeed

It's a hobby, I'm going to do it

[pliant berry]

I hate storage management on macs

[sharp charm]

Oh yeah cable management for guitars become a nightmare when computers get involved

And since they are cables that transmit data you really shouldn't cable tie them

[unreal trail]

I got a popcorn machine and a bucket at home

the popcorn cost me 4 dollars and th ebucket 1.25 at hobby lobby

Hello @uncut gyro! It appears that you're asking for help. Please ask again in the appropriate category so you can get faster help from people specializing in that field. Your question may not be answered here.

[uncut gyro]

im in the process of building it right now

[nocturne flicker]

Movie theater gonna charge you $10 for a drink, $20 for the popcorn and $50 for the 'limited edition collectible bucket 1 of 7' and then ban any outside food from the theater and kick you out if the theater wardens find any

[uncut gyro]

??

[nocturne flicker]

And since movie goers are much lower volume now they'll charge $30 for admission, a $10 good seating fee and have lowered the quality of the seats themselves in order to break even on the licensing to show the movie

[misty sparrow]

The only popcorn bucket I’d get is the dune popcorn bucket because it looks so bad

[dusk knot]

Lmao

[lethal jasper]

39 ppi 😭

[nocturne flicker]

HD Ready

[lethal jasper]

Means slightly more than 720p but it’s trying to not be ewaste

[nocturne flicker]

Trying to sound like it isn't ewaste you mean

[dusk knot]

The cheapness disturbs me

[nocturne flicker]

Because HD Ready at 32 inch is ewaste

[lethal jasper]

saw it for 400 nis and thought its a good deal until i checked why HD ready means

[nocturne flicker]

And 1080p at 57 is just pain

[lethal jasper]

39 pixels per inch 😭

[nocturne flicker]

Must see more individual pixels. Must have HD ready 82 inch

[lethal jasper]

A CRT screen is more useful than bro

[lethal jasper]

Isnt that just…. Normal LEDS?

[nocturne flicker]

LED matrix TV

If the tv doesn't output stuff as if it were being displayed on a Galaga arcade cabinet then low quality frfr

[sinful blade]

Just follow the directions on the manual. Most of the case fans will probably be daisy chained, and they’ll go into a single fan header.

[uncut gyro]

im trying as we speak this shit is mad confusing idk what im plugging in

[rancid juniper]

yes

get it

[misty sparrow]

Hasn’t the content from this demo already been added to the Master Chief Collection as a Steam Workshop mod

Kind of useless to be honest

[rancid juniper]

yea

[nocturne flicker]

Wait a minute the Battlefield 6 helmet pfp decoration was readded to my account

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-5413974953753901704

And it doesn't have an expiration date again?

[misty sparrow]

You have nitro, that’s why

Nitro lets you keep quest items for longer

[nocturne flicker]

So do I have to keep having Nitro in order to keep using the ones they said I could keep forever and they'll go away again when the nitro expires or will they stay as an option when it expires?

The thing is that previously when I got the helmet decoration it was changed to having an expiration date mid way through my Nitro because they rolled out a change to Nitro benefits. Except now it is back without an expiration date

And so is the 28 Years Later one but I don't care about that one

[misty sparrow]

I’m not really sure about that stuff

I don’t have Nitro

I just know if you have Nitro they let you use the quest items again

[nocturne flicker]

If only there was a clear and exact description laying out Nitro policy in totality with regards to pfp decorations

A description that won't be changed at a moment's notice that is

[lone mango]

Think it’s for forever

As long as you have nitro

[misty sparrow]

Doesn’t work with Nitro Classic for some reason

[onyx merlin]

just got back from the movie

it was ok

Avatar Fire and ASh had great Combat and special effects but the story was too long

and too convoluted

[wraith fern]

nothing works with nitro classic

i only have it because i had a ton of credits for some reason

[dusk knot]

That is quite common as some viewers don't remember the last two movies

I understood everything as I've watched the last two movies at least 8 times

[onyx merlin]

it got bad during middle as I fell alseep for like 10-15 minutes only woke up cuz somebody kicked my chair but people sitting next to me moved to other chairs that were empty tons of them cuz i went so early

cuz I was coughing quite a bit lol

[dusk knot]

Yeah because you don't really have an emotional connection with the films. It's fine

For me the movie could have been longer. The experience is subjective

[onyx merlin]

I mean saw second in theater too this was a bit of a step up from that but still

[dusk knot]

And doesn't necessarily make the movie bad

[onyx merlin]

regret going to see it in theaters but I did enjoy the combat and special effects

just I do wish they had made it more compact I guess

less of the whole peace to the whole world stuff at the end

that got too spirtual/ LOST Type ending

[dusk knot]

I see

[onyx merlin]

suprised by how much Disney let Cameron get away with

guess they want to keep the old man happy

[dusk knot]

Well this movie is mostly fan service and people like me actually wanted the movie to be longer this time around, it happened

[onyx merlin]

now I would totally pay big money for a Fallout movie

they already kinda doing it with the amazon show based off the games

I would love a 2-3 hour movie

[dusk knot]

More movies to come is why

[onyx merlin]

ya that was the last time I am seeing avatar movie in theater I knew run time was long before I went I just figured things would be a bit different and I had a giftcard for AMC somebody gave me at Christmas

[dusk knot]

I'm glad those guys didn't get their hands on it

[onyx merlin]

so It costed me nothing other then my time lolz

Isnt it owned by Disney or something ?

Camerons juist the director or something who came up with the story I think

[dusk knot]

Yeah .but he has full control

I don't see it as being originally a Disney project

[nocturne flicker]

Fox is just the distributor

[onyx merlin]

well if I was in charge of his marketing I would have told him to cut flim down by an hour and put all that extra stuff in a special edition collectors set that could be sold for tons of extra money

[nocturne flicker]

Cameron's company is the producer

[dusk knot]

Yeah. Fox who was bought by Disney a few years ago

[onyx merlin]

that way to attract more audience who might not be as connected to the flim series

to get butts into theaters and increasr revenue sales

he needs to be more like Peter Jackson

who makes special editions of his flims to air in theaters/DVD

he had more general movie versions for those not as connected to LOTR

universe or as knowledgeable

[dusk knot]

To simply put how the avatar franchise works, it's more of a theater exclusive experience than a typical film. It stands out on its own. Watching it on TV or on your phone is not how it's meant to be seen.

It has to be long.

[onyx merlin]

I suppose you got a point nobody ever talks about avatar outside the theaters other then to scold it for being too firetrucking (Means F word) Long

[nocturne flicker]

The biggest problem is that the box office numbers are showing troubling signs if Cameron intends to continue pushing them. There has been a steady decline in revenue from each following installment

[dusk knot]

Everything is on the decline..but this is more of a marathon than a race. It will make money.

[nocturne flicker]

It is making money. But not on a good curve

[dusk knot]

That's how the previous two made profit, it takes months

[dusk knot]

Yeah even I have my doubts

But this isn't your typical "Disney" film

[onyx merlin]

How did he bribe disney into doing what he wanted anyways the profit margins for this flim seem to be smaller then last 2

[dusk knot]

James Cameron said if this film doesn't perform as expected due to the damage we've been getting from weak films, he might just make a novel.

[onyx merlin]

I know you said he has full control

but how did he get it for latest flim if revenue projections is smaller

..

[nocturne flicker]

Like the decline in the second week wasn't as bad as the percent decline for the second film, but the second film made a similar amount in the second week as the third film despite opening at about 40mil more in the second film's first week

[onyx merlin]

Did he just blow smoke up Disneys butt ?

[dusk knot]

Idk. I'm not into the financial sector

[onyx merlin]

or something

But ya I dont think another avatar flim will work in theaters its just too long and convuluted and the ideas stale

[dusk knot]

"James Cameron does what James Cameron does"

[onyx merlin]

he should piviot to making a cheaper Animiated Avatar movie with special effects that can run on Disney plus or something

that people can watch at home at own pace

[dusk knot]

It's not convoluted. If you don't have interest in something, information doesn't stick. Happens to me too.

[nocturne flicker]

Also keep in mind Disney has been marketing these a ton

They spent $170mil on the second one and $150mil on the third

[onyx merlin]

Gotta look at it from money perspective I am trying to be finacial about it... sure hardcore fans will love it but fans only generate so much dough

[dusk knot]

They better, because I need avatar 4

[onyx merlin]

If a Flim costs too much to makie and isnt generating record breaking numbers

[dusk knot]

Mhmm

[onyx merlin]

its not worth finaicial risk to produce

And as WEary and others have siad this latest flims profit margins are way tighter

and not really worth time it took Disney to produce

[wraith fern]

why

[nocturne flicker]

Actually they have more leeway for profit margin this time, they spent less making this one

[dusk knot]

Well...
As of rn, it has made $760 million dollars worldwide. There doesn't seem to be a financial problem yet. The movie will naturally falloff, but it's still going strong.

[nocturne flicker]

Same minimum production cost estimate as the second one but the second one ranged up to $460mil, the third only ranged up to $400mil

[dusk knot]

The movie will do fine

@onyx merlin did you give the movie a 6 or 7?

[random osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/bosnov-67-bosnov-67-67-meme-gif-16727368109953357722

[onyx merlin]

@dusk knot 6 like I said great combat and special effects I am just very critical of the plot and story being too long and stuff... like I said n screenshot falling alseep is pretty damming statement about a flims story.

[dusk knot]

its a quantum dot Mini LED display vs an "ok" LCD panel

[worn wave]

Yeah the Frame seems more pure gaming focused

[fair onyx]

I would be interested in the steam frame more if the hardware matched what will likely be an $800 or so price

having generic meh LCD panels is so disappointing

[worn wave]

Yeah Meta subsidizes their headsets pretty heavily

[fair onyx]

the steam frame has a ton of cool features, but the more I think about it, the more I realize its a lot of gimmicks

[worn wave]

Like?

[fair onyx]

I don't really care about it being able to play its own games/emulate windows/play crappy android games. I don't wanna use it to watch movies in VR, cause the displays are gonna look bad. I don't care about individual finger tracking (which you have to pay more for)

I just want it to stream games from my PC, which the quest pro can do just as good, with massively better displays

[worn wave]

I personally see it as a gaming PCVR headset

For media the quest displays are definitely better

[fair onyx]

I'd expect the headset with better displays to be more geared towards gaming, personally

[worn wave]

Well

90hz with partial foveated rendering support vs 144hz(?) with global foveated support

Plus a lil more fov

[fair onyx]

I just wish they would have given the steam frame good displays. the issue is the rest of its features are cool, but if all of those features came at the cost of a good viewing experience... That kinda sucks :<

[fair onyx]

I am not sure what you mean by partial foveated rendering

it IS true that its 90hz vs 144hz, yeah. Though I do have to say, most of the mid LCD panels in VR headsets feel damn near the same at 72hz to 144hz 😅

I use my Q2 at 90hz cause the battery lasts longer, and I can't really tell a difference from 120hz cause LCD's are so smeary

[worn wave]

Afaik the quest only does foveated rendering for select games but the steam frame can do it for all

[fair onyx]

oh, thats foveated ENCODING

[worn wave]

Or at least it does foveated streaming for games that don't do foveated rendering

[fair onyx]

the quest pro has that too

the quest pro and the steam frame both have Foveated rendering (In games that support it), and foveated streaming in any game

I'll see if I like it when I get it. For me its hard to justify buying a device with LCD panels in 2025/2026

if I bought a steam frame it would be by far the worst looking device I own

[worn wave]

Ah, looks like this is the case but only on steamvr. Using quest Link doesn't have it for all titles

[fair onyx]

I use Steam VR for everything cause of virtual desktop, personally

[worn wave]

Granted I personally play my VR games from steam anyways but yeah

[spring stone]

[misty sparrow]

i mean ehh i don't think Quest Pro is really worth it

Quest 3 + Quest 3S has more powerful hardware for a cheaper price

[lone mango]

Such a braindead response fr

Yeah bro nothing wrong with mine

Would be better to not even say anything

[lone mango]

Its like 850 on amazon lmao

Crazy shit

[misty sparrow]

The one he's looking at is $679

[lone mango]

Yeah some woot sale

[misty sparrow]

Honestly crazy for a headset that isn't even made anymore

[fair onyx]

I am after the face tracking, comfort, and display quality personally

[fair onyx]

a lot of people have been wanting the Quest pro recently. It took everybody a long time to kinda be put onto it. It has great displays, full facial and eye tracking, its small, has foveated rendering AND encoding, fantastic tracking, and it doesn't touch your face

[lone mango]

Perhaps the woot sale is a cop then

[misty sparrow]

okay by all means that sounds great

[fair onyx]

absolutely baller card for streaming and recording

[nocturne flicker]

Mmm

[ashen swan]

Not bad performance for the price as well

[elfin mural]

not bad? it's good for 152

[stiff meteor]

Hi

Wat u think about this build

• INTEL CORE I7 14700KF
• ASROCK B760M MOTHERBOARD (WIFI)
• MSI GEFORCE RTX 4060TI 16GB
• KINGSTON 1TB M.2 NVME
• GIGABYTE 1TB 2.5" SSD
• INPLAY COOLER
• 64GB DDR4 3200MH (216GB OCPC & 216GB KINGSTON)
• 750W POWER SUPPLY

[dense locust]

It’s… a pc

[worn wave]

Are you building this or already have it

[dense locust]

Pretty high end cpu for a 4060ti

Also 4x16gb

Also is that ram different kits?

[stiff meteor]

planning to buy

Its a prebuilt

[dense locust]

How much

[stiff meteor]

970usd something

[dense locust]

[stiff meteor]

Its 216gb OCPC & 216gb kingston

[dense locust]

I assume you mean 2x16

[stiff meteor]

2x16

tf

[dense locust]

2x16 + 2x16

[stiff meteor]

Yup

[dense locust]

So two different kits

[stiff meteor]

Yes

[dense locust]

Well For $960 this doesn’t seem too bad

[stiff meteor]

Its a 2nd hand

No budget for bnew

[leaden pewter]

I’d say the ram though honestly in today’s market isn’t bad at all and cpu, but only concern is that we don’t know how much damage that it could have sustained from not having proper bios update, but otherwise seems this system was previously used for some gaming but more video editing probably

[stiff meteor]

This is the psu

[leaden pewter]

But tbf if not your video editing, 3d modeling, or sectioning some portion of the hardware to game servers, your better searching for more deals

[stiff meteor]

Just gaming

More like pubg and gta

[leaden pewter]

Nothing crazy so even as simple as a r5 5500, 32gb of ddr4 and maybe a B580 or a 5060 if you want (not a bad card honestly for 1080p and lil 1440p in more optimized titles) and honestly is easy price to reach

[stiff meteor]

that u suggesting how much does it cost estimated?

[leaden pewter]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6Rm2qH

[stiff meteor]

Tnxx

[leaden pewter]

Roughly same price with but with current ram and storage market eating the bucket

[ashen swan]

i can't wait for the~~ G pro X superlight 2 SE SE ~~ G pro light superlight 3

[leaden pewter]

I personally want to see heavier mice hit the market and for larger hands

My g703 light speed is 100+ grams and still light for me

[stiff meteor]

Which is better 5060 or 4060ti

[dense locust]

The 4060ti had 16gb

Honestly buy the 14700k pc and sell 2 sticks of ram to make back money

You can easily make at least $100

[junior bone]

is this ram good

[stiff meteor]

What ram should i replace

[dense locust]

If the sticks are the same choose the worse looking one

[nocturne flicker]

Mmmmmm

[remote geode]

the middle click is a dangerous animal in linux

what do you mean that it's set to "paste" as default

and when you try to set it as "scroll" it breaks some applications

[tranquil pebble]

you get used to it

[lethal jasper]

Where does one get windows keys

[fair onyx]

From places we shall not name 😉

I hope I end up liking my quest pro

I don't think the steam frame is gonna be the headset for me, so the quest pro is kinda the only other option

[craggy shoal]

PowerShell script (that's all I'll say)

[lethal jasper]

[trail nest]

Chat is this a good controller for PUBG on PC

[worn night]

I guess

[lone mango]

For me it’s for opening something with a different application

Rather than selecting open with and the program

I just middle click

Kinda tuff actually

[lone mango]

[acoustic palm]

Neither is good

[sinful blade]

very expensive and unnecessary

8bitdo ultimate 2C will do the same thing and costs $20

[lone mango]

Man

Making my own little server is becoming more attractive

Nas, dns hole, and this gym app lets you use your own server

Could also put Minecraft on there and let it run nonstop

That one’s not as important though because I can’t play it over a long period of time

[velvet summit]

you know what is a good controller for pc

keyboard and mouse

how tf do people play shooters with controller

it's so much harder to aim

i get hack and slash is better on controller but comp fps/tps?

[grand wasp]

Poll is up~

😄

Happy Monday!!!!

[lone mango]

The slow controller turn

Ononono
